+/**
+ * ErrorPage Component
+ * 
+ * A customizable error page component that displays an error code, a message,
+ * and provides an option for the user to either retry or navigate back to a 
+ * specified page (typically the homepage).
+ *
+ * @param {number} [errorCode=404] - The error code to display. Defaults to 404 if not provided.
+ * @param {string} [errorMessage="The page you're looking for doesn't exist or is unavailable."] - The error message to display. Defaults to a standard 404 message.
+ * @param {string} [details] - Optional additional details to provide more context about the error.
+ * @param {string} [redirectPath="/"] - The path to redirect the user to when clicking the redirect button. Defaults to "/" (home).
+ * @param {string} [redirectLabel="Go to Homepage"] - The label for the redirect button. Defaults to "Go to Homepage".
+ * @param {() => void} [onRetry] - An optional function that will be executed when the retry button is clicked. Useful for recoverable errors.
+ * @param {string} [current_route="#"] - The current route to check if the user is on the homepage. Used to prevent redundant redirect button.
+ * 
+ * @returns {JSX.Element} - A functional component rendering the error page with potential retry and redirect actions.
